When Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, started his monthly radio programme, ‘Mann ki Baat’ on 3 October, he wanted to have a platform where he could directly connect with people and talk to them of issues close to his heart.

In April 2023, he completed 100 episodes of this programme through which he brought to the fore some inspiring work done by ordinary citizens of India, for India. He also spoke of remarkable achievements by individuals and organisations. People who overcame disability, poverty and discouragement to scale great heights. People who gathered others around them by their own passion and convictions and motivated them to achieve impossible goals.

Amar Chitra Katha along with the Ministry of Culture presents the first of a 12-comic series based on a selection of stories from ‘Mann ki Baat’.
